초보자부터 중급자를 위한 이탈리아어 집중 여름 캠프 - 4X 주

To learn at a quicker-pace Italian conversation skills, vocabulary, verbs, and more during the summer! Whether a complete beginner or wanting to review and work on Italian, this weekly camp is a great fit for you! it is ongoing which means you can pause the course during the summer weeks you can't join due to vacation, etc.

We will meet 4 days a week and have makeups on the other week day if needed.

Day 1 of each week: Basic conversation skills or dialogues
Day 2 of each week: Vocabulary
Day 3 of each week: Verbs
Day 4 of each week: Comprehension -- through reading, singing in Italian, or watching a show in Italian (with any of these forms, we will also discuss what parts of it are saying in English)


My teaching approach:
- We start with a small catch up of our week and any updates to allow students to feel connected and a part of a group.
- We review anything necessary from last time and start learning the new material. I will say the word in English/ Italian, and then students are to repeat the word in Italian to work on pronunciation. If we are learning conversation skills, then we'll discuss how to pronounce words and phrases and then I'll give each student the opportunity for me to ask them the question we learned in Italian in order for them to practice how they learned to answer it. If we are doing a reading exercise, then sometimes I will break up the lines for each student to have a few lines to read or we'll read it together if it is a smaller group.
- We'll end with talking about optional homework and if time permits a little review by asking questions outload or do a little game.
